I'ORT OF OEO. K. DIXON
COUNTY SUPKKINTKNDKNT FOK THE
BCHOOL YEAR KNUINO JUMK 1ST
1880.
.1
Another school year.la cloned. -Time,
with pitiless touch, has sealed the eye
lids.of,tbe departed. "School is out,
boys,'' were the last words of the dy
ing school-master, and they are
applicable words here. School is In
deed out, but tlie dead past shall not
yeb bury Its dead. Suiiw !of Its re
miiiiscences must bo revoked from
oblivion's shades, and by the "art
preservative" preserved. Many of
these school experiences .are pleaasnt
to recall, while others are unwelcome
guests, and present themselves unhid
den. Sunshine and shadow closely
follow each other, und strangely
blend. st;. .it..
A prominent mistake was made in
many rural districts by opening tlie
schools iu June for a summer session
to continue through the hot months.
The attendance was very meager, and
little interest was manifested. Sum
mer schools, in most places, are a fail
ure, and should be discouraged. An
other mistake, was the employ incut of
several young and inexperienced teach
ers, holding s cerlillcate of low grade,
when .teachers of age, known skill,
and professional training, were within
reach. The idea seems to be preval
ent in some districts, that a low-grade
certificate means as niueh as a high
grade, and that a license to teach
means a competency to teach any
school. Directors should look care
fully at certificates, and know that li
provisional Xo. 1 only represents a
fair knowledge of the common
branches under the law. If a
thorough knowledge is required to
teach a school, then let a person hold
ing u professional certificate be em
ployed. Still another mistake, and a
very serious one, was the general lack
of writing . books and other writing
material among the children. Tue
matter Is now receiving special atten
tion, and this evil will be reme
died. Tlie question bus been asked, why
are some of the schools no further ad
vanced? To tills thefV- is an answer,
unequivocal and sufficient. '1 lie
children are taken from the school
while very young, and before they
can api reciate tlie vulttc-of all cduca-t
lion. When will parents fully realize
the great duty they owe their'clii!drcn
iu that they kIiou!! give them a broad
and liberal oduciitHHi?- Who questions
that a proper education is the bash ol
all prosperity, whet Ivor individual or
natioua ? A little learning may be
a dangerous thing, but I his is (he only
amount some people are willing to
give their children.
Sulnriv.H of teachers are quite good.
Strenuous effort were m tde by a few
directors to lower the wages' of the
teach ing foeV, but with nueiftest. The
fact is. the people are by far too wise
to bid for half-paid", hall'-st.irved
teachers. A fair compensation is es
sential to the employment of ta'ent,
liud all salaries should be commensur
ate with tlie usefulness of Hie em
ployed and tlie responsibility of the
position. Who is more useful than a
faithful teacher, or whose position is
more responsible? Sell-sacrifice is a
irood thing, but not very nourising.
Beefsteak hioaiis more than water
gruel, even witli m teacher. ' TluJ di
rectors of Elk believe this;:'and vote
teachers good wages. There are only
about six counties in the Statu that
pay lamer salaries to teachers, on the
averatre, thaw, this county.
Svh'tnl (erjtm are umoi.g the longest
iu the State, and are increasing in
this respect. i .
Scliaol nail Huhoo-liounrit ore also
on tl.e increase. Jones built three
school-houses last, yeut'-'arid is now
building two more. Horton ami
Itidgway each built one, and Ridgway
is now building two more. The Ridg
way school, has ailicw department,
making five iu all. Millstone is al-o
erecting a, school house. Renovation
ami refurnishing are going on ever
where. Many are decorating the
sehool-jfrounds, and flower beds are
common. " . ; .
Svlmol-rnom decoration is pushed to
an extent heretofore unknown. Pic
tures, plants, flairs, and vases are ar
ranged in tastefui ornamentation.
lilnvk-butiriln have received speein'
ittentioii. Mijt-w.e.ro-recently intro
duced into nearly every school-room
i harts mil globes were also pur
chased. The Ridirwiiy schools have
raised money to buy pbiio-pbical and
ehemical apparatus, and the Centre
villcschools procured the money, and
purchased beautiful pictures and u
Mbrry of standard-wnrUs.of reference
Dictionaries were -placed by the di
rectors in many ttcliools'. "
The Hchnol joofis are quite uniform,
ind would remain so if .teachers and
book agents would' let them alone
The schools wei'e visited quite often
by directors ami pat runs, and leucher
often isited tl ie schools of one an
other. Reading irclef professional
and literary. wer kept up by teachers.
Local institutes ain4 educational meet
imrs were held 'in several localities,
ami with most salutary icsults. Kagei
and large audiences attended the ses
sions. The county institute was In Id
in Itidgway during the week Includ
ing Mienew year holiday. The at
tendance was very large and ; mosi
salutary work wasl;done. Professors
A. X. Raub. Lock Haven, Pennsyl
vania, and H. Hi Jones, Erie. Pa,
were the chief instructors. Col. J. P.
S.-infordaiid Reverend J. B. Youm:
were the evening lecturers. Local
alent was prominently brought out.
I made two hundred visits to schools
of about-two hours each, and distri
buted thousands of educational tracts
and circulars, s. ;
st'ooKsrioNS,
1 That the school law he changed
so that each schmit board shall be com
posed of Ave members. There are so
many dead locks-und tie votes thai
some change is iiecessary by which
tlds may be avoided.
2. That (he school law be changed
so (hat none but professionally trained
teachers shall be employed.
in conclusion, i desire to express
my thanks to a'l who have aided me
in my feeble efforts to promote the
cause of educat ion.

that is claimed for them. Tribune,
